The hike starts at the Stava church (554 m) and continues via switchbacks along the old trail in Vals Senales to the Stava irrigation channel path. Now hike along this trail towards Ciardes and turn right at the start of the village across the narrow asphalt road to directly reach the Senales irrigation channel path. Here, follow the course of the water towards Sonnenhof (refreshments), turn left and you will reach the target destination after around quarter of an hour, and which is also the highest point (927 m) of the hike. Take a breather and follow the path towards Val Senales enjoying the view of the valley with its glaciers and peaks, go round the castle hill to reach the Sonnenhof again via the irrigation channels (irrigation channel huts). Turn left in front of the farm and you will find yourself on the old Val Senales path, which leads back to the village of Stava.
